RYAN, COYLE REACH CAREER MILESTONES

ATHENS — Powerhouse North Penn-Liberty remained unbeaten in league play with a sweep of Athens here Tuesday night in NTL Large School Division volleyball action.

The Lady Mountaineers, (12-1 overall, 10-0 NTL) won by scores of 25-8, 25-23, and 25-20.

“We had lots of errors the first game, then we picked it up in sets two and three,” said Athens coach Heather Hanson. “I saw some awesome Wildcat volleyball.

“Hopefully in the last two sets we played, the girls realized we have a chance,” she added.

The match also included a pair of milestones as senior Jenny Ryan registered her 500th career dig, and sophomore Ella Coyle recorded her 500th serve-receive.

Ryan led Athens with four service points, three kills, two blocks, 14 setter assists, and six digs, while sophomore Kassie Babcock had four points, four kills, and nine digs, and senior Audrey Clare had three points, two kills, one block, and 10 digs.
